  emergency. When dealing with an emergency, first
  of all, we should stay calm and use the letters

  think fast. D stands for danger. We would not be
  able to help if we were to get hurt trying to
  save someone from dangerous accident scene, R is
  response from which we can know that he/she is
  conscious and can breathe. A is for airway and B
  for breathing.

  open and it is easy to breathe. If the person is
  not breathing, start his or her breathing at
  once. C is for circulation. If the person is

  with a clean piece of cloth.
